It is expected to reduce congestion at Vikaspuri, Janakpuri, Jawalaheri, Paschim Vihar and Bhera Enclave.

The plan also includes a foot overbridge for pedestrians, bus lanes, a cycle track, and a green belt.

"The Delhi government is committed to provide a smooth transport system in the city.

Major roads in the city are choking due to high intensity of traffic and we have been constantly trying to improve the network," Dikshit said, adding that the traffic situation in the city has eased substantially after construction of around 75 flyovers in the last 13 years.

Union Communication Minister Kapil Sibal and PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan were also present on the occasion. Chauhan said PWD will soon take up a number of big road projects to make the Outer Ring Road signal-free.

Chauhan said, "PWD is ready to take up another mega project, at a cost of Rs 3,000 crore, to make Outer Ring Road from Meera Bagh to Wazirabad signal-free. The project will involve construction of six flyovers. The flyovers or elevated portions will come up between Meera Bagh and Deepali Chowk, Badli and Mukarba Chowk and three other flyovers will be built between Mukarba Chowk and Wazirabad. This road will be extended till Noida."
